Even though I don’t see these kids on a daily basis like I used to when this boy was an infant, it’s always nice to know that we can pretty much pick up where we left off. Watching them grow and change year after year amazes me and saddens me because of how fast my own kids are growing. My daughter and this handsome young man were at the same daycare as infants. Now, almost 8 years later, they’re nearly ‘tweens’. Scary! Anyway, somehow by some small miracle, we were able to get out last week - sans rain – for an awesome family photo shoot. There were so many images to choose from, it was hard to narrow them down! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I love the pic of them playing in the water. I can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks for being so amazing, Melissa!
I can’t believe how old Gavin looks in these! Beautiful photos~ beautiful family!!!!
These photos look like paitings! Gorgeous family! The location is very unique. I especially like the purple and blues against the green background and how the texture of the grass ties the series together.
Fantastic photos as always Melissa!
What wonderful family photos, your children are beautiful and the setting is perfect. My favorite is the very first one of your daughter, adorable, and the one of your son and daughter together on the dock. Your photographer did an awesome job.
Thank you for sharing !
Again, very nice pictures…’course the “models” are great, too.
I absolutely love the pics! Beautifully done and the kids look fantastic! The way you were able to catch the realness in the eyes of the children is phenomenal.
Where were these taken? Great background idea.

Once again, faboulous work on the pics! And those Bidstrup kids are getting so grown up…love the ones of Gavin. Beautiful family!
So cute! The kids look like the model kids who come with the picture frame. I can almost hear Elsa’s giggle from here. And my, Gavin sure has his game face on… Look out Calvin Klein kids!
Love the doc pic. Great background with the kids playing.
Overall they look amazing. “GREAT” photo’s Melissa.
All I can say is WOW! Your children are adorable! The pics turned out great. I like how some of the backgrounds are blurred so the pic focuses on the kids. The 2nd pic of Gavin is my favorite. . . .such a cutie!
Lookin Good! Thanks for sharing
